Cub Scouts have the opportunity to see things and go places they could never imagine. They go on field trips and go camping. Want to go on a campout? Want to learn a secret code? If you're a boy in the first through fifth grades, (ages 7-10), then Cub Scouts might be for you.

As you may know, BSA's Internet Advancement System is now being used by many of the local councils. The advancement/4403 report in both TroopMaster and PackMaster will produce a file that is fully compatible with this new system. BSA's system will refer to our recharter file as the UMS (Unit Management System) file. Help with PackMaster and TroopMaster

Internet Advancement Experiencing DifficultiesThe Internet Advancement is experiencing some difficulties, and we are working with National BSA to learn more. As soon as we have more information, we will post it here.

Some issues experienced with the Internet Advancement System:
1. Units are unable to print a report after submission
2. A unit's submitted reports are not showing in their accounts properly

Internet Advancement
The Internet Advancement System is experiencing some issues with some of its functionality. It is still available for your use, if you have not had any problems with it recently, don't hesitate to continue to use it. A few things to consider:

Use Internet Explorer 7+ for best results. The systems do not yet support Apple/Mac software and other browsers.

If your unit has not logged on, in the last six months, you may need to have your password reset. Please call 402.431.9BSA (402.431.9272) to reset your password.

If you are still experiencing problems, we would recommend you download this Advancement Report . You can edit and save this electronic form, then email it in when you're ready to submit to Council. Email to 326Advancements@scouting.org.

To use Internet Advancement:

Select the unit advancement processor. This person must have Internet connectivity and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Get your Unit ID number.

Gather information for advancement, including merit badge applications and advancement records with dates.

Click on the "Login" button on this page. Follow the instructions in Internet Advancement to process advancements and print an advancement report

Have the appropriate people sign the printed unit advancement report and submit it to the council. You must turn in an advancement copy to the council office (Scout Shop) when you purchase advancements (badges of rank and merit badges). Save a copy for your files.

Units should submit monthly reports before the end of each month, or more often if needed. In December, submit a report before the end of the month to update your unit and council statistics.
